A "buon fresco" painting on free support, 60 x 40 cm - 23,62 x 15,74 in
It has been created during the course I have been teaching for more than 10 years about
"Traditional Painting: Materials, Methods and Restoration Issues".
In the year 2005 I decided to make a gift to the priest that hosts
us in the wonderful monastery of San Giovanni Battista.
In the last picture, the ceremony of delivering
the fresco of Jesus Christ painted
in a strictly traditional
Byzantine
style.
Buon Fresco, Italian for "true fresco", is a fresco painting technique in which
alkaline-resistant pigments, ground in water, are applied onto a wet plaster.
It is distinguished from the "secco" techniques, in which
paints are applied onto a dry
plaster.
